@fasterandworse This is the first book in a long time I will have read all the way through in less than 24 hours. Need to find more books like this. Thinking I may need to re-read some old favorites to get into the habit again.

@Zeugs If you read it all literally you will definitely struggle đ
@LeoR1010 Verkligen. Jag blir alltid sÄ himla glad nÀr det kommer spontant. Gör att jag sjÀlv vill skicka vidare till andra som annars Àr sÄ lÀtt att glömma uppmÀrksamma för att de förgyller vardagen.
@salixsericea Thanks. đ

Bra poĂ€nger om konkurrens, men jag har lite svĂ„rt för hennes fokus pĂ„ âalignmentâ och att företagen sjĂ€lva ska lösa det hĂ€r.
Hennes avslutande poĂ€ng om âA race of who can dedicate the most compute to alignment.â lĂ„ter som en mardröm för mig.

@Torstein Cross-border sympathy blocks is heart-warming to see.

Japp dÀr Àr jag ocksÄ. Tycker vÀrlden blivit surrealistisk.

I believe Poast is an instance of Soapbox, which I mention in the blog post. https://axbom.com/fediverse/

@iakonkret I was watching a video review yesterday and JUST was able to stop it before they started revealing spoilers from the book. đ

There are no details I have seen. But my expectation is that the car - detecting incomplete data- stops until it receives confirmation from a human that it can continue.

@Zeugs
Not sure I follow.
I've mentioned the effects on my own interpretation and emotion, which can happen regardless if others would agree that it represents me, or regardless of whether the output can be deemed "good" according to some definition of that metric. Outer representation is a tricky subject. I mean, people can be led to believe that an empty rubber glove is their own hand.
Perhaps if you let me know your goal with the line of questioning, or your own assumptions/hypothesis/conclusions, this would go easier. đ
> why are you suspecting that GenAI video's are good?
Did I express this within the context of this conversation? Not sure what "good" refers to here either?
@Zeugs
> how good are you in judging your Own outer representation?
I wouldn't know how to judge good or bad in that respect.
> Could you judge if it's good Korean?
Nope (but I am one month into studying Korean with Duolingo. đ
)
> Does a voice identifier, identify you as the speaker of the generated Korean?
That's an interesting one. I'll have to check with some different ones. It wouldn't surprise me if the answer to that is different for different identifiers.
@Zeugs This is a great philosophical question. What Iâve used here is the basic version of something that can be more powerful for a hundred bucks. Sure I think I could identify these videos as fake if someone else made them, but it all depends on context.
I do think weâll get to a point where people will start questioning themselves and their own memory. But even if I can see itâs fake, what happens when a majority of other people thinks it isnât? Can they gaslight me into accepting that itâs real?
But already I feel at odds with what Iâm seeing. I can even catch myself thinking, âWow, my Korean pronunciation is really good!â even though I logically know Iâm not voicing those words at all.
@kefir Sure, this is all HeyGen. I've shared some more here:
https://axbom.com/synthetic-video-benefits-risks/
It's possible to pay to get better quality.
@salixsericea Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I really agree about how it looks like a dubbed movie. Apparently customers of HeyGen can pay to get better lip sync. Of courseâŠ
Makes me think of the animated film Robots and hunting for upgrades.

@Zeugs Not that I watch them that regularly, but across the years many of my talks have been recorded and posted online, so it happens. I do regularly listen to myself, since I run a couple of podcasts and do production for them.
